According to The Hollywood Reporter, Halle Berry has signed on to star opposite Keanu Reeves in John Wick: Chapter 3, the latest installment of Liongate's action movie series. Anjelica Huston and Asia Kate Dillon (Orange is the New Black) have also joined the cast of the upcoming film.
The story picks up after the events of Chapter 2, which sees Wick, a former assassin who tried and failed to live the quiet life, with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin's guild, the High Table, John Wick is excommunicado, but the world's most ruthless hitmen and women await his every turn.
Berry's character details are being kept secret, but sources say she will not be the film's villain. The script has been adapted by Derek Kolstad, writing team Chris Collins and Marc Abrams and Shay Hatten.
Huston will play a figure known as as The Director while Dillon is The Adjudicator of the High Table. Dacascos is an assassin named Zero, and Mantzoukas as the Tick Tock Man.
